Discover how CCUS can significantly reduce CO2 emissions and drive sustainable growth in Indian cement sector. Join us for the release of the #CCUS in the Indian Cement Industry outcome 1 report! Don't miss out on this crucial discussion. 📅 Tuesday, 25th June 🕛 12:00 PM-1:00 PM (UK time) Register now: https://lnkd.in/gxiGgNSQ #Sustainability #Innovation #CementIndustry #ClimateAction #GCCAIndia #Webinar
Join the #CCUS in the Indian Cement Industry outcome 1 report release #webinar! 🇮🇳 Tuesday 25th June 12:00 PM-13:00 PM (UK time). https://lnkd.in/gxiGgNSQ India’s economic growth has been substantial over the last two decades, much of which can be attributed to rapid industrialisation. India’s cement industry is the second largest globally and has played an important role in the country’s economic growth. Tackling rising CO2 emissions in the country – 5.8% of which can be attributed to cement production – will be key, and CCUS can play a central role. This is the first report in a series for India - developed collaboratively between the Global CCS Institute, Clean Energy Ministerial CCUS Initiative, and Global Cement and Concrete Association, and with support from the Global CCS Foundation, assessing: - Potential CCUS hub ecosystems in #India and identifies potential flagship projects. - CO2 emission sources with storage opportunities in proximity. - Transport and storage costs through a techno-economic analysis, and more. The intention is to replicate this approach for a number of regions and countries across the world (with a strong focus on the global south) to help accelerate deployment of CCUS.
